Kendo Menu Close

[gregory]

Note: the documentation on the Kendo menu provides how to close an item, but not the actual menu itself. 

For example, the menu documentation on the Kendo menu states:
//intialize the menu widget
    $("#menu").kendoMenu();
    // get a reference to the menu widget
    var menu = $("#menu").data("kendoMenu");

    // close the sub menu of "Item1"
    menu.close("#Item1");

I hit return or some other key and this accidentally posted. To finish, to close the entire menu use:

//intialize the menu widget
 $("#menu").kendoMenu();
  // get a reference to the menu widget
 var menu = $("#menu").data("kendoMenu");

 // close the entire menu
 menu.close();

This is fairly straightforward and intuitive, but I thought to document it here.

Hello Gregory,

Alternatively, you could pass a selector that uses the Kendo UI classes ("k-menu" and "k-item") to the close method:

menu.close(".k-menu .k-item");

Thanks- this is good to know! I had to close the menu on an onClick event as the jQuery scroll animation kept it open somehow. I could not find documentation, but it was an easy enough solution and thought to post it here. I hope that this was OK.
